Welcome to Shutterphile

About Kristian Jaime

As a professional news and artistic photographer, my work takes me to
many diverse places. Though they all inspire me in different ways, they
also serve as a reminder that photography is constantly evolving, both
in technique and aesthetics. Consider Shutterphile a compendium of the
most compelling products and practices on the horizon. While it is hard
to encapsulate everything this art form has to offer, I share with you
my world, one photo at a time.

One of the many reasons Austin and I get along so well is because its propensity to celebrate within reason. Utopia was a wrist band away and for four days, Austinites were patient and grateful for the athletes and other accommodations--even in that legendary Texas heat. I was not so lucky as I cooked like a Christmas ham...my arms are still blotchy.

If you put your ear up to your screen, you can hear sizzling.

So for four days, my best friends were a tiny bottle of sunscreen care of media hospitality and Seton Hospital and and these triplets.

One of the elements in many of the aerial tricks was far more sublime than I think the casual observer appreciated. Perhaps it's because I have plenty of performing arts shoots behind me, but it struck me as ballet on a board or on the seat of bike. We can easily marvel at the height and danger, but do we notice the body control and the forethought of all the actions before they have take off?

So I wanted to isolate that motion and make it into an active melody to a song. What better way than with colors that evoke a mindset? So I humbly submit to you Poetry in Motion.
